Houston, TX – Kerri Mathis Photography »

We did Parker’s newborn session at 3 wks old – and someone forgot to tell him that babies don’t usually sleep well during a session at that age!  He was an absolute dream to photograph.  He was awake when I arrived but had just been fed and once I got him in front of my magic space heater he gave up the fight and slept like a champ almost the whole session.  Love when that happens!!  Parker has the most awesome big brother who I couldn’t help but snap a couple of images of – and you’ll see why in just a minute.  I wanted to take Jacob with me to some fabulous location and just take pictures to my hearts content.  I think these two are going to be best buds – Jacob is so proud to be a big brother!  Check out these two gorgeous brothers!

Every newborn session I have is special to me and each baby is just as special.  Little Benjamin is no exception and he happens to live next door to me.   I get to see his sweet little face as he grows up and learns to hold his head up, sit up, walk – and I can’t wait!  Benjamin is 3 weeks old which is older than my usual newborns but he had a rough start into the world and spent his first couple of weeks in the NICU.  I know how grateful his parents are to have him home now so they can stare at him all day long.  And be to honest – I could stare at him all day long too.

This smile just makes me happy!

Little Claire was 9 days old at her newborn session – and what a complete doll she is!  I really could have bundled her up and brought her home with me – at least for one night.   She is such a little snuggler and was a great little model for me as well.  I shot their maternity shoot last month and was really looking forward to hanging out with Lacee and Brian again and seeing them in their new role as parents.  They are completely smitten with their little princess as was I when I held her!
